“Wherever there are consecrated people … there is always joy!” These words of Pope Francis reflect my own experience since I was a child. Through my parish, I had the opportunity to meet many religious sisters from different communities, and each time I was amazed at the contagious joy of these women who had given up everything to follow Jesus. I began to recognize in my heart a desire to do the same.
When I was in grade school, my parish opened a perpetual adoration chapel, and my parents and I would pray there an hour each week. In this quiet time of prayer, I encountered the Lord and his unconditional love for me. My desire to become a bride of Christ continued to grow.
During my senior year of high school, I spent time visiting the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia, who were teaching in my diocese. I was drawn to their charism of teaching for the salvation of souls. I entered the community in 2013 and made my final profession in 2020. The Lord has continued to fill my heart with his peace and joy!
